AI for Finance & Accounting
Practical Applications of AI for Financial Modeling, Fraud Detection, and Reporting
AI is transforming finance and accounting at speed. This practical, hands-on guide shows finance professionals exactly how to apply it — not just to automate routine work, but to improve accuracy, strengthen reporting, identify risks faster, and turn financial information into better business decisions.
About the Book
Finance teams are under constant pressure to do more with less — faster closes, cleaner data, sharper reporting, and stronger oversight, all at the same time. AI is changing what’s possible across every one of those demands. This book explores real-world applications across financial modelling, forecasting, reconciliation, fraud detection, audit support, reporting, and workflow automation — with a consistent focus on what’s practical, applicable, and responsible in regulated environments.
Rather than vague theory or technical jargon, every chapter is grounded in the actual workflows of modern finance functions and what AI can realistically do to improve them.
